Re: Harang vs. Eaton (6/3/08)

I am out of town this week. Last night I followed the link here to the 2 Reds affiliate radio stations listed in the thread that have slipped through the cracks and still broadcast the Reds games over the internet.

But neither of them worked.

If anyone knows any Reds or Phillies affiliate radio stations that I could catch the stream of tonights game, I'd appreciate it if they IMed me with the info.

No apology needed. I love your threads as well.

And boy do i agree with the second part of your post.

Perfect example right now is on wlw.

Instead of discussing tonights game. On pre-game WLW have been talking Chad johnson for the first 35 minutes of the show.

We are, and your effort is appreciated.

I just know that, for me, for a 7:00pm weeknight game, I'll only see your preview threads 30-60 minutes before the game, which doesn't leave a huge window in which to engage in a back-and-forth discourse.

But I absorb what I see, then settle in to watch/listen-to the game, and I get to revel in the fact that thanks to the preview, I'm at least as smart and prepared as Marty/Jeff/George/Chris/Thom. That's fun.

Re: Harang vs. Eaton (6/3/08)

We've lost our second straight one run game to the Phils after winning two against the Braves. Say what you will about baseball and stats but, they do seem to even out.

Tonight was the first time in a long time that I was actually angry at Phillips. He had an awful night at the plate.

Bruce actually looked human but still had a .500 OBP.

Our bullpen is pitching better and better. Liked what I saw out of Herrera.

Tomorrow night is a must-have. With the June schedule we have in front of us we cannot start 0-3 on this roadie, especially when we could easily have won either prior game.

How can you say that? Harang struggled in his last outing since he pitched extra innings in San Diego. Most managers wouldn't have given their starter and extra day off. But they couldn't since Volquez pitched extra innings as well. Now he puts Harang out on regular rest and expects him to be effective after a hundred pitches. I don't get it. For the most part, unless you're mechanics allow you to or you are absolutely dominating the opponent, I don't think pitchers should generally go out the inning if they've reached 100.

definitely killed a couple of very important rally starters. However the entire team couldn't get crap done together. Reds made eaton look like a stud because of impatience and lack of execution. What's new, the reds have been doing that all season.
